BA to provide luxury food and drink for ‘Taste of London week’

18 June 2009

Unite, the UK’s biggest union, is angered by the news today (Thursday) that BA are to provide free champagne and smoked salmon for ‘taste of London week’.

Unite national officer for civil air transport, Brian Boyd, said: “At a time when BA are trying to take the bread from our members tables, it is ironic that they choose to sponsor an event which promotes good food.

“Whoever is responsible for PR within the company really needs to develop a strategy which is more appropriate for the current state of BA.”

Unite national officer for civil air transport, Steve turner, added: “While BA asks their lowest paid to work for nothing, propose to sell their work to the highest bidder and remove long standing protections, they add to our anger by supplying champagne and salmon to their friends. It beggars belief.”
